I know in the full version of Photoshop you can go to Select>Color
Range, eyedrop colors directly in the image you want to add to the
selection, close the tool, and then delete what's selected. It's
fairly self-explanatory.
Alternatively, Image>Adjustments>Replace Color will allow you to
select colors the same way, but right from within the tool you can
adjust the color of the selection. So, just select what you want to
delete, and then bump the lightness up to the max.
However, I have no idea if these features are in Elements, and I'm
guessing you'd still have manual clean-up to do afterward. Of course,
this only works if the pencil marks are of different color than the
music.

you can try to adjust things with the "levels" after converting to
greyscale (if you haven't already). this way you can set the
programme to interpret everything below a certain level as white and
above as black. but the results are not always so pretty... and it
can make things quite grainy, so probably a big staedtler and a pot
of coffee is your best solution. viel spaß dabei!
I was actually hoping to find a toll which could distinguish (by
colour I guess) the pencil markings from the print, and simply take
them out for me. If that is not possible I will have to clean them
before I scan them.
